I flagged this but thought it is prudent to explain why.

The author deliberately took it down because the attention it garnered made them uncomfortable. While we all know what goes up on the internet is forever, it doesn't preclude us from having the decency to respect their wishes.

thanks for sharing

Can mods delete this please? I think web archive is misused in many cases when it's posted on HN. Web archive, in my opinion, shouldn't be used to circumvent author wishes or paywalls.
